Supply teaching contract- help

I hope someone can help. I work for a council with a perm, full time contract at a secondary school.
I have agreed to work an extra day until lunchtime every week until possibly the end of the year, but currently until the summer hols.

The school are trying to pay me this on an hourly basis, but this works out as less than my pay for another day as they aren’t including any marking/prep time. I now have full responsibility for classes with this timetable but am being paid 30% less for the day I’m in. Until lunch, working 5/7 periods..

No one is quite sure whether they can do this- it is a temp addition but I am a permanent member of staff being paid less for the same work, basically because I’m leaving 1 40 mins before the end of the day..

Does anyone have any insight with this in regards to Mccrone time and being paid for it?

If you are in a union, I'd speak to them.

Yes, I have but that obviously takes time and I’d quite like to sort it asap!

I spoke to the union as I thought about doing a Friday on supply. They essentially said it's up the HT. I haven't done the Friday as didn't want to be paid only a few hours .

I don't understand how you have a full time contact and are working an extra day?

Have you joined Scottish Teachers for Permanence on facebook? There's a few supply teachers on there who have had issues with pay and might have suggestions as to what to do. Is your contract part time, is that what you meant?

Hi, sorry I just have not read back my post. I have PT perm post, but was doing some extra to help cover someone who is off. This is the temp part- it’s only 1 day, until lunchtime!

It has all been resolved now though and I’ll get the correct, full rate!
